She needs to contact the Council and get single persons discount for Council Tax sorted out quickly. They tend not to backdate claims.
That will give her a 25% discount. Not much but it all helps.

And she is without doubt entitled to legal aid. Any solicitors with a family law section should be able to offer initial free advice on how and where to claim

it's acceptable to be a single parent on benefit, that's why their bringing out that tester to determine who the father is.
 


That view, unfortunately, depends on which side of the political spectrum you chose to sit.

Do you know what side of the political spectrum Buzzer is on? I think you may be surprised.

Just to correct any developing NSC preconceptions:

1. The lady in question is still married at present.
2. All children are legitimate and belong to the husband.
3. They are all white and English.
4. They do not live in a caravan.
5. They live in their own freehold house with a mortgage, but no positive equity.
6. The husband has to find somewhere else to live which restricts what he can put into the family home.
7. None of the family have ever drawn benefits.
8. The lady did have a part time job but now has to look after the kids full time.

Thanks for the constructive stuff so far.

I'm with earnest on this one,
You don't work, you don't eat or have a roof over your head.
No incentive for people to work in this country

And so you'd rather see three young children on the street starving ???

So you would be living at home with mummy and daddy then.
